Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Peacock's Tail (Pavo cristatus), referring to the tail feathers or sometimes other parts of the bird, has a history of use in some traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and certain folk remedies in South Asia. The feathers and sometimes ashes from the tail are believed to have properties that can help heal minor wounds, scratches, or abrasions. However, this use is based primarily on traditional beliefs and anecdotal evidence rather than rigorous scientific research. There is no substantial clinical or pharmacological evidence to confirm that Peacock's Tail is effective in treating scratches or abrasions. The rating of 1 reflects that, while the practice exists in tradition, the evidence is minimal and not scientifically validated. Modern medicine relies on antiseptics, proper cleaning, and wound care for such injuries, and there is no recognized mechanism by which components of Peacock's Tail would provide direct therapeutic benefit for wound healing. In summary, the use of Peacock's Tail for scratches and abrasions is justified mainly by tradition, with little to no scientific support.
